Understand the Access as Well as the Repair
The pipe location and surrounding property both matter to an excavation plan. Ask which area needs to be opened, why that access is necessary and how the proposed repair addresses the findings. A surface feature alone does not determine the method or extent of work.

Resolve the Sewer Section Involved
Long Beach Utilities separates the building sewer on private property from the house connection leading through the public right of way. Its published sewer plan assigns investigation and repair of the building sewer to the owner and describes utility discretion over house-connection repairs. If findings point toward the public portion, discuss them with the utility before treating the work as a private excavation project.
The boundary needs to be considered with the actual pipe location. A wet patch or driveway edge alone does not establish which section has failed.
